CARSON CITY — Officials on Tuesday opened Forestdale Road (Forest Service Road 31013) in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest to over-snow motor vehicles to allow access over Forestdale Divide to the Blue Lakes area. All motor vehicles including snowmobiles are required to stay on the road until south of Forestdale Divide.
The Mokelumne Wilderness area is adjacent to Forestdale Road on the west and is always closed to motor vehicles. Snowmobile riders should be aware of all closed areas and ride only in areas with sufficient snow.
"This has been an unusually dry winter," said Dan Morris, district recreation officer. "Areas that typically have plenty of snow have very thin coverage this spring."
Forestdale Road is typically opened to over-snow vehicles in the early winter and late spring when insufficient snow exists at the Hope Valley Snopark.
"The timing of the closure of Forestdale Road is determined on an annual basis by the Carson District Ranger based on a review of on-the-ground conditions," Morris said. "If there isn't enough snow in the Hope Valley Snopark we try to provide access to other areas."
Parking is very limited at Forestdale Road. Snowmobilers should consider carpooling and shuttling from the Snopark if possible. The Hope Valley Snopark is still open for parking, but snowmobile access from the Snopark is closed for the remainder of the season.
For more information, call 882-2766 or visit www.fs.usda.gov/htnf.

This item wasn't my cup of tea. I'm sure others would find it fine. It just seemed a little fragile to me. Plus, given the set up of my bending iron (which I like a lot, side-review) it would not stay put. The fine folk at Stew Mac were incredibly helpful, even sent a new one while I still had the other, but I could not make this work for me. Your mileage may vary. I'll take a moment to praise the customer service again. It was excellent and the reason I'll be sticking with Stew for other purchases.
I bought the bending iron and this thermometer at the same time. I can't really see getting one without the other. This surface thermometer saves me the grief of trying to bend sides before the iron is hot enough and prevents scorching by preventing the iron from being set too high. Delicate but accurate. Just treat it like the fine measuring tool it is and you'll be fine. Looks like it would last a lifetime if treated right and accurate as you could ever hope for.
As a beginner at guitar repair I was nervous about removing the bridge on the guitar. I purchased the Bridge Heater and Fingerboard Iron along with the Surface Thermometer and was very careful to maintain the proper temperature. Very slowly, carefully, and methodically I was able to remove the bridge and all went well. It does the job but you must be very patient.
When you are bending expensive figured maple or rosewood,the right temp is critical. Without Knowing you're iron is not hot enough and you break a piece its just not worth it to gamble. This tool is a must. It really works great. Keep these fine tools coming stewmac...thanks
The spot check may seem flimsy, but it is a tough little sucker. The one used by Huss & Dalton has hit the floor many times over the years, has never been kept in its case, is used on 6-7 sets of sides per week, and is still going strong. Some of the enamel has chipped off the face of the thermometer and the dial tends to hang up there, but it pops free before the temp has climbed enough to worry about. A tap on the face will also clear the dial.
I bought one for my own shop, take nice care of it, and I expect it to last the rest of my life. You shouldn't bend sides in a fixed form without one, you won't know why your sides are breaking without knowing the temp.
A bit flimsy and a bit pricey. Good job it comes in a plastic box to protect it.
I expected better quality, but it does work ok.

You'll gain skills in assessing student learning, managing classroom behavior and interacting with parents.

You will have 80 to 120 hours of teaching experiences in the field, which include one-on-one, small-group and whole-class settings.

Is there a limit to the number of instances on layers that the Generate Stroke effect can be used? I currently am experiencing major rendering/preview issues when having more than 20-25 layers running simultaneously. I have a six-core system with 24GB of ram and a video with 2gb dedicated DDR5 ram, that usually runs flawlessly. I'm currently working on a project with about 500 layers, of which 200 are generated strokes using paths copy and pasted from Illustrator.
500 layers is a lot of layers... even for a system with your specifications.
There's no finite limit I'm aware of, but 500 layers is an awful lot of calculation, and there's always going to be a real world limit based on the capabilities of your hardware.
Try to work smarter. If possible, pre-render elements. Use proxy renders where possible. Hide layers when not required. Turn off OpenGL. Reduce preview resolution and turn off motion blur while working. If any strokes are not being animated, pre-produce them in Illustrator or Photoshop so that AE doesn't have to do the work. Consider using Shape layers with repeaters if they will do the job of multiple layers.
As the others said, it's a simple math problem depending on teh compelxity of the shapes and specific settings used. You could perhaps get more and better performance by doing them as shape layers since those routines are much more optimized, but even then there will be a wall somewhere along the way...
Thank you for the insights and ideas, they are very much appreciated. While I am working with many layers, I should point out that they are not all on at the same time throughout the timeline. Each animated stroke is completely unique. I definitely have OpenGL off and my preview resolution is often at a custom level below quarter. Here are more details if you're interested, but again, I really appreciate the input.
I am working on animating a illustrated map that is an 8000x8000 png. I have probably 250-300 layers of the map with various animated masks, moving camera, feathering, modes, roughen edges and opacity to simulate ink bleeds. While this sounds heavy, the 2 minute clip usually took about 4 hours to render at 960x540. The previewing at either half or quarter resolution was maybe a second or two to load. As soon as I added the animated lines using the paths from illustrator, render time shot up to 25-30 hours estimated and climbing. These lines are not incredibly complicated, using 15-30 points at the most. I found that 15-20 simultaneous instances of layers with the Stroke Effect on didn't change preview or render time at all, but as soon as the number inched above 20, everything took a nose dive. 10 minutes just to preview a single frame at half resolution, retiling of my open windows and palettes, white screen flashes. If I dialed it back to 20 or less, back to normal! So, I decided I would precomp just the lines, same story. Ended up doing two passes with every other layer turned off each time, and the render time was about 6 minutes for the two minute clip at 1920x1080. If I tried to render just the Stroke Effect layers allowing up to 30-32 simultaneously, the same problems would return, even without the additional ink bleed layers. For some reason, this just felt like a really hard and unexpected wall to come up against, especially given the relatively minor additions of the lines compared to the overall complexity of the project, as well as the continued problems even when isolated.
Thanks for taking the time!
Mmh, sounds frustrating indeed. Though I never have observed this behavior myself, this could be soem sort of odd bug in the effect itself. Perhaps you should report it with as many details as possible and include a pointer to this forum thread...

A century by Alex Davies kept the 2ndXI's defence of the 2ndXI Trophy alive with a convincing seven-wicket victory against Glamorgan at Middleton
This result means that the 2ndXI will qualify for the semi-finals if they beat Yorkshire in their final game. The sides meet next Tuesday (20 August) at Todmorden.
Lancashire v Glamorgan, 2ndXI Trophy, Middleton 13 August
Lancashire won by 7 wickets [Updated Table]
Glamorgan 213-4 (35 overs) Nick James 78.
Lancashire 214-3 (27 overs) Alex Davies 104 not out
Team: Luis Reece, Alex Davies (wk), Paul Horton (capt), Luke Procter, Liam Livingstone, Ross Zelum, Ashley Gowers, Tom Bailey, Mattie McKiernan, Gavin Griffiths, Adnan Ghaus.
Report - A young Lancashire attack kept on top of the Glamorgan openers, conceding just 26 runs during the 7 over powerplay in a game reduced to 35 overs per side. Bragg and James dug in to put 93 on the board by the 16th over before Livingstone had Bragg caught by Gowers, a late call up for Agathangelou who had returned to the Yorkshire Bank 40 match at Emirates Old Trafford.
Procter then took a wicket in the first over of his spell, Walters caught at short mid-wicket by Horton. Griffiths returned to bowl Davies and Glamorgan were 160-3 in the 28th over. James almost carried his bat, only to edge the returning Ghaus to wicketkeeper Davies to make the score 199-4. The visitors went on to finish on 213-4 from their 35 overs.
Another great start by the Lancashire pair of Davies and Recce took the Red Rose to 58-0 at the end of the 7-over power play. Davies went on to pass 50 in the 10th over, taking only 33 balls. Reece was finally out caught in the 11th over for 34, in a partnership of 89. Horton added 53 with Davies before two wickets fell in the 21st over to set back the Lancashire run chase. Livingstone hit back with some attacking shots, including 4 huge sixes in an innings of 38 off 22 balls.
Davies batted through for the second time this season reaching his second century in the Trophy. He brought up his century with a boundary through deep mid-wicket and hit the winning boundary backward of square to see Lancashire to a seven-wicket victory off the last ball of the 27th over.

Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where.
Mary Kelly cast her vote early — on . She went to Shannon Airport in Ireland, which the U.S. was using to ferry troops and supplies to where they would begin the invasion of Iraq, and she took an axe to a U.S. Navy 737, doing, in the Navy's opinion, 1.5 million dollars worth of damage to the aircraft.
Arrested and taken to court, her first trial ended in a hung jury. The judge then changed the rules so she could not present evidence about the war in Iraq to support her claim to be acting to prevent worse crimes there. She was convicted on a 10-2 jury verdict .
Her site lists a number of other votes:
- — Eoin Dubsky sets a fine example by spray-painting anti-war slogans on a US Hercules transporter at Shannon, stopping it for a week
- — the Pitstop Ploughshares 5 extensively disarm a US warplane at Shannon
- — longtime peace activist Ulla Roder single-handedly rips an RAF Tornado fighter jet into little bits!
- — the Fairford Five peace activists disable 35 trucks for refuelling B-52 bombers at Fairford US military airbase in England
- — the Alliant 28 peace activists protested at DU weapons manufacturing plant in USA, declared not guilty by a jury on basis of the Nuremberg Principles
- The Trident Ploughshares aim carefully to chop the nukes out of Britain — they have notched-up some truely amazing legal victories, as well as deep notches on the subs themselves
The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse is good about puncturing the IRS's bluster about how it's getting tough on tax enforcement. This time, they've taken a look at how much effort the IRS is putting in to auditing corporate tax returns — it turns out they're spending 30% less time conducting 26% fewer audits in than they were in a similar span the year before. The amount of extra taxes these audits are uncovering? Also down: by 36%.
You can find the report, and a summary of its findings, at the TRAC site, as: Corporate Audits Continue to Slump.
The Chicago Tribune printed a profile of activist and war tax resister Kathy Kelly — The Peace Warrior.
Kelly decided one way to do good was to lower her income below the taxable level of $3,000 per year [sic]. She didn't want to contribute in any way to the military budget, what the citizens of her do-gooder's ghetto called "the death machine." She was making $12,000 at the time and officials at St. Ignatius distributed the $9,000 difference among other programs and staff at the school. "I was Lady Bountiful," she jokes.
She says she has not paid a dime of federal income taxes since. "It was one of the simplest decisions I've ever made, and one of the easiest decisions to maintain," she says. "I can't imagine ever changing my mind."

By Gary Brown
The NCAA Executive Committee put a plan in motion at its meeting Thursday to better position the Association's governance structure to deal with a broadening array of diversity and inclusion issues.
Current structure
New structure
The plan enhances the Association-wide Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee and the Committee on Women's Athletics – the two primary diversity bodies that have been in place for two decades – by expanding their rosters from 15 members to 18 (to allow adding one president from each division) and specifying equal distribution of members among Divisions I, II and III.
It also establishes a new "inclusion oversight body" composed of representatives from the Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee and the Committee on Women's Athletics (including presidents from those panels) and creates subcommittees to address issues involving everything from age, race, sex, class and creed to educational background, disability and gender expression.
Currently, diversity and inclusion matters are funneled through the Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee and the Committee on Women's Athletics, which report to the NCAA Executive Committee Subcommittee on Gender and Diversity Issues. The way those three groups are structured, though, creates some overlap of mission and areas where the structure is not adequately positioned to handle issues beyond race and gender. NCAA officials also believe there hasn't been enough presidential involvement within the current substructure to provide adequate guidance and insight at the policy-development level.
The new plan dissolves the Executive Committee subcommittee and creates a more strategic substructure to manage an increasingly complex set of issues.
The yet-to-be-named inclusion oversight body will include the presidential members and the chairs and vice chairs of the minority and women's committees. The group will be charged with the strategic direction of diversity and inclusion in general. The new subcommittees will be composed of five to seven members each from the minority and women's committees. The 18-member minority and women's committees will continue to report to the Leadership and Legislative Councils in Division I and the Management Councils in Divisions II and III. The entire diversity and inclusion structure will report to the Executive Committee.
The idea of revising the governance structure emerged when the Executive Committee adopted a new framework surrounding the diversity effort in 2010. That included appointing NCAA Executive Vice President Bernard Franklin as the Association's chief inclusion officer and combining the former diversity and inclusion and gender-equity staffs at the national office into an office of inclusion. That led to examining the external governance structure, as well.
"From an internal perspective, it quickly became clear that a more unified approach to inclusion would serve the Association well," Franklin said.
The new plan accomplishes a number of desired outcomes, Franklin said, not the least of which is protecting the brand equity that the minority and women's committees have generated over two decades.
"Retaining those groups, and in fact fortifying them now with presidential representation, assures that the advocacy of gender- and race-related initiatives that has been the mark of the Committee on Women's Athletics and the Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee will continue," he said. "More importantly, the new structure establishes subcommittees of those groups that can target specific areas that may not have fit appropriately with either of the primary groups before."
The Committee on Women's Athletics and the Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee already have supported the change. The governance structures in Divisions I, II and III will be asked to sponsor legislation to expand and modify the MOIC and CWA rosters. The Executive Committee will sponsor the legislation creating the joint inclusion body. All of those proposals are expected to be submitted for the 2012 legislative cycle.
Once the new structure is approved, the committees and subcommittees could be appointed and in place as early as October.
"This is a positive outcome," Franklin said. "Any time you change anything related to diversity – particularly with the committees assigned to oversee it – you hear concerns that you might be backing off your commitment or going in a different direction. On the contrary, we think this new structure enables talented and committed membership representatives to better address specific issues that may have slipped through the cracks in the old structure."
Other highlights
In other action at the NCAA Executive Committee's April 28 meeting, members:
(It is the responsibility of the NCAA institution to submit the request for a medical exception for testosterone treatment before the student-athlete competes while undergoing treatment. In the case of testosterone suppression, the institution must submit written documentation of the year of treatment and ongoing monitoring of testosterone suppression. For the purpose of NCAA competition, cases of GID treatment being interrupted will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.)

What will it take for finance workers to report wrongdoing?April 11, 2012: 12:18 PM ET
Half of all observed misconduct goes unreported, and a majority of managers said they'd only divulge information to a senior executive if the impact of the case exceeded $1 million, according to a recent study.
By Gary M. Stern, contributor
FORTUNE -- Turning a blind eye to the wrongdoing of colleagues has become the norm at many financial services firms. Despite the MF Global debacle, the rogue traders at UBS and Societe Generale, the subprime mortgage mess, and Goldman Sachs' tarnished reputation, most corporate employees continue to withhold information about misconduct by colleagues on issues they know are wrong, until it turns into a major financial imbroglio, according to a recent study.
In fact, employees do not report 50% of observed misconduct. And even when unethical behavior is reported, 60% of managers said they'd only divulge information to a senior executive if the impact of the case exceeded $1 million, according to a 2011 study of 500,000 employees at 150 companies (many, but not all, financial services firms) over four years, conducted by Corporate Executive Board, an Arlington, Va.-based consulting firm.
The improper conduct goes unreported because people "fear retaliatory action, including losing their job, failing to get promoted, failing to get a bonus," explains Thomas Monahan, chairman and CEO of Corporate Executive Board. Many employees expect that the misconduct will be buried under the table and no action will be taken. Indeed, companies have failed to create a healthy, ethical culture where people feel "they will not be retaliated against and the company will go and do something" about the wrongdoing, Monahan suggests.
MORE: Preparing for next-gen workers, with next-gen brains
When illegal practices go unreported at a financial services firm, the stakes are high. Firms face significant fines and legal costs, reputation damage, and tightened regulatory scrutiny. Fines of $100 million have been leveled against companies that have defied the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, says Monahan.
Why would it take a one million dollar loss to influence staff to blow the whistle on an illegal practice? Monahan says, "People need to be highly convinced that this is a potential catastrophe to take the risk." Otherwise, they'll stay mum and avoid the threat to their career stability.
Managers are no different from employees, often choosing to squelch rather than report illegal incidents. They also fear retaliation and being blamed, justifiably or not, for the wrongdoing. "Will I be a pariah if I bring these issues to bare?" they wonder, Monahan argues.
"The most important thing companies can focus on is, 'How do you make it okay for someone to feel comfortable sharing negative information?'" Monahan notes.
For companies to change their culture and encourage wrongdoing to surface, Monahan says leaders must communicate "preemptively" to let staff know that unethical actions are going to happen at times, but if they surface these issues they will be protected. He says they should also describe what action was taken to resolve any ethical lapses and spread the word. Monahan also argues that managers need to penalize or dismiss employees that commit unethical acts.
MORE: How small companies can instantly court Goliaths
Corporate Executive Board has come up with an "Integrity Capital" scale, which rates companies based on six components, including clarity of expectations, encouraging staff to speak up, trust in colleagues, direct manager's leadership, openness of communication, and tone at the top. Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) scored in the top quartile on these rankings. Ironically, on April 3, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission accused the RBC (RY) of fabricating bogus trades to generate ample tax benefits. RBC has denied the charges and all wrongdoing.
How could RBC staff have allegedly committed these acts despite creating an atmosphere of strong integrity? Monahan says an organization's culture can establish norms and regulate behavior, but it's not a perfect system. "Culture often fails to drive the behaviors of rogue employees' intent on breaking the rules," he says. RBC declined to offer comment for this story.
Roy Smith, who teaches ethics at NYU's Stern School of Business and was a former general partner at Goldman Sachs (GS) from 1966 to 1987, says that most of the scandals have taken place at the major financial services firms that do risky trading, not at regional banks that generally avoid exotic financial products like derivatives. The nature of trading, which involves the assumption of risk and betting on financial instruments, doesn't fit easily into a simple ethical code. While most trades are legal, a certain percentage of traders will take shortcuts and try to get an edge on a deal and may overstep ethical boundaries
MORE: The good intentions that will kill your business
When a financial firm's compliance staff warns traders about going too far or skirting the edge of what's legal, a trader's typical response is, "'Don't tell me what I can't do. Tell me how to do it,'" Smith says. Traders have a fiduciary responsibility to their customers, but they are always looking to gain the upper hand on their trading partners, and that can turn into evading the rules.
For all trades to be vetted properly, Smith says, "You'd need one group of people [traders] using the accelerator and legal and compliance using the brake." Following every ethical rule and nuance would lead to firms cancelling, limiting, and restricting traders, and that's not likely to happen.
Smith says his ethics class doesn't focus on teaching morals, which he says wouldn't be effective, but instead concentrates on looking at ethics as a leadership issue. "If you work at a company and don't impose standards on those who work there, you'll have anarchy and no standards," he says.
Since money often talks louder than ethics training, making it a part of compensation makes sense. Perhaps people have to be rewarded for citing wrongdoing. "Companies reward people for risk adjusted profit," Monahan notes. After all, he says, speaking up against wrongdoing helps the bottom-line in the long run.
Editor's note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated Thomas Monahan's title. He is the chairman and CEO of Corporate Executive Board. A previous version of this story also incorrectly stated that the Royal Bank of Canada received the top score in a recent integrity ranking by the Corporate Executive Board. RBC scored in the top quartile instead.

DLA's New Coleader Discusses Firm's Leadership Change
|0 Comments
A little more than two years after DLA Piper hired former Linklaters managing partner Anthony "Tony" Angel out of retirement, the onetime Magic Circle maestro is poised to step down as global cochair of DLA to make way for new leaders Sir Nigel Knowles and Roger Meltzer.
DLA, the world's largest firm by both gross revenue and head count, announced the management shake-up in a press release Tuesday afternoon in the United Kingdom. The firm said that as of Jan. 1, 2015, DLA's top leadership posts will be shared by Knowles, a global co–CEO of the legal giant and head of DLA Piper International LLP, and Meltzer, the cochair of DLA Piper's U.S. LLP.
Meltzer, a former Cahill Gordon & Reindel partner who joined DLA's New York office in a high-profile lateral move in 2007, also serves as head of the firm's global corporate and finance practice. The Am Law Daily reported in January 2012 on the election of Meltzer and corporate partner Cameron "Jay" Rains in San Diego to four-year terms as cohead of DLA's Americas arm, a move that came less than two years after both partners were promoted to top management positions.
The U.S. and international units of DLA both have their own separate leadership apparatus and partner profit pools, as mandated by the firm's Swiss verein structure, an increasingly popular—and controversial—method of arranging large international legal operations.
Speaking with The Am Law Daily by phone from London on Tuesday, Meltzer says that DLA has "no near-term" plans to abandon the Swiss verein structure, adding that the firm's financial performance over the past few years has proven that the model can be successful. According to the most recent Am Law 100 data, the more than 4,000-lawyer DLA—a number that takes into account its U.S. and international units—saw gross revenue rise nearly 9 percent in 2012, to $2.4 billion.
"We've made so much progress over the past few years, and I believe that our position as a well-run, commercially viable and truly global firm has been validated," says Meltzer, who serves as a member of the board of directors for ALM Media LLC, parent company and publisher of The Am Law Daily. "In a flat market for legal services you've got to be able to take [work] away from someone else, and by being in a lot of different places we're in a position to cross-sell and grab market share."
In the United States, Meltzer says he helps oversee lawyers that make up about one-third of the firm's total head count. Anastasia Kelly, a former general counsel for global insurance giant AIG who joined DLA in 2010, will continue to serve as co–managing partner of its Americas arm alongside litigation partner Michael Poulos in Chicago. The international arm is structured like many U.K. firms, led by a senior partner and managing partner, with Knowles filling the latter role. (Click here for a breakdown of DLA's global leadership.)
Meltzer says it is the partners in Asia, Europe and the Middle East who make up DLA's international LLP that will vote later this year—mostly likely early September—on the leadership changes announced Tuesday. If approved, London-based intellectual property partner Simon Levine will take over from Knowles as DLA's next co–CEO, while Knowles ascends the leadership ladder to run the global firm with Meltzer. Rains will succeed J. Terence "Terry" O'Malley, his corporate partner colleague in San Diego, as DLA's co–CEO alongside Levine.
"I never believe in having a plan that will fail," jokes Meltzer, when asked if he expects the leadership transition to be approved. He notes that Angel and Chicago-based real estate partner Lee Miller—DLA's two current global cochairs who will be succeeded by Meltzer and Knowles—will remain with the firm in a senior advisory capacity, the details of which will be worked out later this year. Miller led Chicago's Rudnick & Wolfe in its 1999 merger with Baltimore's Piper & Marbury, whose former leader Francis "Frank" Burch Jr. remains chairman emeritus of DLA's U.S. LLP. (Fellow chairman emeritus Sen. George Mitchell was named an American Lawyer Lifetime Achiever in 2012.)
In 2004 DLA took a major step on its path toward becoming a global powerhouse by merging with California's Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich and legacy British firm DLA. "We will be the vanguard of change," Knowles told sibling publication the New York Law Journal at the time.

How to remove an Attribute in PrestaShop 1.5
Written by Scott Mitchell
Views: 1,732
Published: May 25, 2012
Last Modified: Aug 17, 2012
Now that you have learned to add attributes to your products, you will need to learn the opposite as there will be times when you will need to delete one or more of them. Perhaps our store decides to no longer carry shirts. In that case we would no longer require the Size attribute.
When you remove an attribute, the attached values are also automatically removed. Remember, this removes the attribute and its values from the general list so it will no longer be available for any product. Removing Attributes from Prestashop 1.5 is very simple and can be done with the following steps.
To delete Attributes from your list in PrestaShop 1.5:
- Log into your PrestaShop 1.5 dashboard
- From the top menu bar, hover over the Catalog tab and click Attributes on the menu.
- You are now on the Catalog : Attributes and Values page. There are two ways to remove Attributes. If you are removing only one, you can find the Attribute you wish to remove and click on the Delete icon (the trashcan icon) on the far right of the row for that specific attribute.
If you are removing more than one, you can select each one by clicking on the checkbox on the left of each attribute. Then you will simply click on the Delete Selected button at the bottom. In this example, I am removing all of the default Attributes, so I will use the checkbox method.
- You will be prompted with a confirmation popup. Click on the OK button to confirm the deletion.
- Reviewing the attributes list you should now see that the selected Attributes have been deleted.

text: I've just read the rps diary of Neptune's pride that was posted earlier today. I am most intrigued. The game sounds brilliant, and I think the best way to enjoy it would be a game comprising solely of RPSers who would potentially be willing to write up their turns, ambitions, emotions, etc to create a similarly (If inevitably much more poorly written) epic compilation. Anyone that wants to join would have to be of a similar skill level to the others, ie completely new to it. If I can't find enough people that want to write up their turns then I guess I'd be willing to just play a normal game regardless, though I do think we could make something interesting if we we all managed to commit. Who knows, it could even make for a good addition to the Sunday papers of the not too distant future.

A Blue Affair for Autism Speaks: over $100,000 raised for autism research and advocacy
To show their support for Autism Awareness Month and to help raise funds for Autism Speaks, Vanessa and Donald Trump, Jr. hosted A Blue Affair in partnership with the Bayrock Group and handbag line La Poshett on the evening of April 6 at Trump Soho in New York City. Joining the Trumps were event co-chairs Sandi and Chris Wright, Julius and Suzanne Schwarz, Alexandria Capra, Shawn Modell and Hope Smith, along with Autism Speaks Co-founders Bob and Suzanne Wright.
Thanks to Autism Speaks' gracious hosts, A Blue Affair was a huge success. Over 300 guests – including Eric Trump, Real Housewives of New York star Kelly Bensimon, Miss New York USA Amber Collins, actor Michael McGlone, famed photographer Richard Phibbs, Tommy Hilfiger Model Jacquelyn Jablonski, and Miss Teen USA 2010 Kamie Crawford – enjoyed cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and a silent auction. Guests were also treated to a live performance by Talina, a young girl on the autism spectrum from Rockland County who is quickly becoming a singing sensation, and the debut of Vanessa Trump's new handbag line, La Poshett, from which a percentage of proceeds from sales of her blue line will benefit Autism Speaks.
In addition to Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr. and the event co-chairs, we'd like to thank A Blue Affairs' top sponsors — Greenberg, Trager and Herbst; Brain Balance and The Geier Group — for their support of Autism Speaks. A Blue Affair was truly a special evening for all of the attendees. Thanks to everyone's efforts, over $100,000 was raised to go towards vital research and awareness efforts for autism. Also check out some of the great press coverage from the event, including an interview with Vanessa on MSNBC.com on why raising awareness and funds for autism is important to her, and a Fox & Friends segment on A Blue Affair with Vanessa and Donald Trump, Jr.

Actually it's not a disease.Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. Just thought I'd let ya know. Also I second what Betty said. "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" Ya'll totally rock!
We, the families of those who suffer with the disorder called Autism, truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your conscious efforts, devotion, and time spent raising money for the research of this disorder will never be unnoticed or without merit. Thank you again.
It was very refreshing and comforting to see such wonderful support for Autism. I remember when Autism was not taken seriously. I am grateful for the spotlight, because this disorder has destroyed many young lives and has placed a lifelong burden on the backs of many families. The financial cost to fund education and to care for a child, especially those that are severe….. is outrageous. Above all as a mother of 2 of them, I can honestly say they have taught me a lot…patience, how to love unconditionally, tolerance and how to be appreciative of the little things in life…to name a few. Please keep Autism in the spotlight, let us know you care and hear us…Thanks for lighting it up blue ! You should put a red heart next to it….because your love and big hearts also lit up for the world to see… THANK YOU :)
God Bless all of you involved in supporting Autism. My grandson has Asperger's. The more involved who have recognizable names, the more our communities at large will better understand. Having the Trump's support is huge. Hope Dad ( The Donald ) jumps in with support. That surely couldn't hurt come 2012.
Our schoold districts need to start doing education for their teachers on this disorder. They just want to tag your child as a behavioral problem. Parent must have been on drugs during her pregnancy. Most do not have a clue, and my experience is, they won't listen. Very sad and frustrating.
Again from the bottom of everyone in my families hearts, Thank You, and God Bless you. Please keep up the good work : )
for Sharon H. I see U are having difficulties with your school district same as we are & I'm seeing this a common problem through out the autism community. My grandson (6 yr. old) Is being forced to take some heavy duty drugs in order for him to handle the excessive stimulation in his progressive kindergarten. I can't see how doping him up to the extent where he sleeps all the time is helping him learn @ school. I wish ya'll good luck & may god bless ya'll. We are waiting for our school boards decision ( or should I say the usual "There is nothing wrong with him. He's a model student.")to either put him a restrictive class for now or keep up with the usual BS they feed all of us & continue to force mainstreaming a child that at this time can't be mainstreamed due way too much stimuli.
Hi everyone, Talina really enjoyed performing at this event. At 12 years old she is very aware of her autism as well as how fortunate she is to have been blessed with her musical talent. The Trumps and everyone associated with this event really want to make a difference. Please read about Talina's amazing story at http://www.talinaworld.com as she continues to raise awareness and break boundaries of what a child with a disability can do.
Blessings to all
